Since you have rejected my most recent patch submission, which uses pr_fmt 
explicitly, I imagine that what you are trying to say here is that only 
pr_debug or pr_info are acceptable.

Now, so that we don't have to go through pointless resubmission 
iterations, can you tell me which of the following you prefer:

if (ei_debug)
	pr_debug(...)

OR

if (ei_debug)
	pr_info(...)

Thanks.
